Dear Amanda community,

I am running two dumpers simultaneously, and using software compression. The estimates of the compression are not exact, and I've been running into a problem where the two DLEs AMANDA chooses to dump are bigger when combined than the holding disk. The holding disk fills up before either dump finishes, and the dumps stop. In this situation, what does AMANDA do? So far, the dumps have just hung there, but my timeouts are quite long. I could break the DLEs up into small chunks, but I was wondering if there is a more elegant solution.

Thanks,

Jordan
